'Cause I do so much homework I'm good to go on the first take; I don't want to rehearse. I like the element of what's unpredictable of that first take and nobody knows what's going to happen, and I'm a big fan of that.

Trying to identify and understand, as opposed to judging, is very important for me, in approaching characters.

Why not provoke some thought and get people talking about things? I like characters that are flawed because we all are. When people break up in a script, you think, Oh, right, there must be tears shed here. But maybe the fact of the matter is that they're both laughing.

I love to go into a movie and have no idea what's going to happen in it.

I believe that if you go and see a film you should have to sort of invest something yourself and you have to do a little bit of the work as an audience member, so when you leave the cinema you should be having those conversations either with yourself - if you're crazy like me- or with friends afterwards.

Everything I put my name to and take part in, I want to be good. That's not saying it will always happen. But I want to make bold choices.

I could never swim in the ocean after seeing Jaws.
